Myometrial arterial calcification are thought to increase with advancing age and may represent calcification of radial or arcuate arteries of the uterus.
They may have an increased association with atherosclerosis elsewhere.
Radiographic features
Ultrasound
They may be seen as hyperechoic myometrial foci on ultrasound.
